Sinossi
Transforming British farming through science, labor, and policy to feed a nation. This edition draws on passages that illuminate how arable farming became central to the country’s economy, science, and civilization, shaping the future of agriculture.
The excerpts show how modern methods—fertilizers, better livestock, and new machinery—were combined with organized labor and government action during a pivotal era. They reveal the challenges and reforms that helped farmers boost tillage, manage resources, and respond to wartime needs, while weighing the costs and risks of dramatic change.
- How arable farming tied together crops, livestock, and manure for stronger yields
- The role of science, fertilizers, and tractors in expanding cultivated land
- Public campaigns, labor programs, and the Land Army shaping rural work
- Policy debates on enclosure, wages, and agricultural support during wartime
Ideal for readers of agricultural history, policy, and rural life who want a clear picture of how farming adapted to modern pressures.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the long and fascinating transformation of rural society in England from a system of collective farming to one of individual, private farming. The author, a former Minister of Agriculture, presents a detailed account of the enclosure movement over two centuries, from the 16th to 19th centuries, drawing on a wealth of historical records, literary sources, and personal observations. The book examines the economic, social, and political factors that contributed to the decline of communal farming. It discusses the impact of agricultural innovations, land ownership patterns, and the changing dynamics of the rural economy on the lives of farmers and farm laborers. Ultimately, the book highlights the lasting effects of enclosure on England's rural landscape, village life, and agricultural practices, making it a valuable resource for understanding the historical foundations of British agriculture and society.
